GSW (3-1) led by as many as 13 in the game before the
Railsplitters (4-2) rallied behind the play of Desmond Johnson and
Wadner Joseph to tie the game at 68 to send it into overtime.

LMU had two chances to win the game in the final seconds, but
came up short.

It was all Sargent in overtime. He scored all but three points
in the extra session, and his third 3-pointer of the game put GSW
on top for good at 77-75 with 32 seconds remaining.

After falling down and losing the ball on an inbounds play,
Sargent had the key defensive rebound, two free throws, a steal and
layup all in the final seven seconds of overtime.

"I just put it in my mind that I was not about to let us lose
that game," said Sargent. "I thought back to my high school days
and my coach always telling me it's a game of runs. We knew they'd
make a run. and we were able to withstand it.

"This is a real big win. It showed that even when three to four
people foul out, everybody stuck together."

Marcus Scott, Rick Russell and Evan Mobley all fouled out in
overtime. He finished 11 of 19 from the floor, made all nine
free-throw attempts had eight rebounds. Coach Mike Leeder said
Sargent's go-ahead three came with two people draped on him.

"He nailed it," said Leeder. "It was fantastic. It came at the
right time. He's an elite level player, and he willed us to the
win."

Scott had 15 points, and in his first game back since the opener
because of an injured hamstring, Chris Rawls had a double-double
with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Neither team shot well with GSW making 39.7 of its shots and
holding LMU to 38.5 percent. GSW made 25 of 32 free throws, and it
held the Railsplitters without a field goal for the final 1:03.

"We played really well defensively the first 30 minutes," said
Leeder. "They started pounding it into (Johnson), and we struggled
rebounding the ball the last 10 minutes of the game. We've got to
be better than that Monday night against Valdosta State."

The Hurricanes were down early 8-4 when they went on a 28-11 run
to take a 32-19 lead in the first half. LMU started the game
2-for-12 from the floor before it closed the gap to 35-27 at the
half.

GSW led by 62-49 with eight minutes left in regulation, and
that's when LMU began its run to tie the game. Ryan Whitaker's
layup at the 1:27 mark tied the game at 66, and the two teams
swapped baskets over the next 30 seconds.

"Anytime you go on the road and win, you'll take it," said
Leeder. "We have still have a lot of improvement. We haven't shot
the ball well the last tow games, but I'm glad to go on the road
and pick one up."
